It was unclear whether or not anybody else had been injured.
Simply earlier than 3 p.m., the church described the episode as “an active situation involving shots fired.”
One eyewitness informed the tv station KHOU that she was contained in the church when she heard a number of pictures fired and noticed a person who gave the impression to be in his 20s or 30s holding a pistol. She mentioned she ran right into a smaller room the place she sheltered with about 10 different individuals, together with a baby.
“We were thankful,” the girl informed KHOU. “It could have been worse.”
